Stream 1: Preparing the ranked list of projects
The ranking of proposed projects included in the preliminary list resulting from the pre-LDIP activities allows for social and political considerations to be inputted into the project identification and prioritization process. It facilitates the trimming down and modification of the project list in subsequent streams of the LDIP process. For these purposes, a Goal Achievement Matrix (GAM) is utilized. 1. What is the Goal Achievement Matrix?
The Goal Achievement Matrix (GAM) is essentially a listing of the LGU’s social and political goals, weighed according to the local administration’s priorities and commitments and consensus – based sectoral goals set by the community. The extent to which proposed projects contribute to the attainment of these goals is then estimated. The GAM method is highly participatory because it allows
various sectors of the community to express their bias through
the weighing of each goal according to their perception of its
2. How is GAM used for ranking projects?

The rating of each project according to its perceived contribution to the achievement of each goal is quite simple.
Call and organize a workshop with participants representing various societal sectors in the LGU, e.g. business, academe, farmers and fisherfolk, women, religious, government, indigenous peoples, youth, elderly, etc.
Select any ten (10) or more projects as may be determined by the LDC from the preliminary list of projects submitted by the sectoral committees which are classified as “Urgent”.
Make sure your projects are really projects, not services, not legislation.
Make sure your projects are LGU-owned, or co-owned with the national government or private sectors.
List the 10 or more projects corresponding to the numbers in the GAM Form. (See Table 25 - Sample GAM Form 1 and Table 26 - Sample GAM with Inputs from One Societal sector)
Based on the perceived importance of each goal to the interests of the sector a group represents, assign weights to each goal. The numerical total of the weights should be 1 or 100%.
Rate each proposed project using the following scale:
3 - Project contributes greatly to the fulfillment of the goal.
2 - Project contributes moderately to the fulfillment of the goal
1 - Project contributes slightly to the fulfillment of the goal.
0 - Project does not contribute to the fulfillment of the goal.
-1 - Project slightly inconsistent with the goal.
-2 - Project moderately inconsistent with the goal.
-3 - Project greatly contradicts the goal.
Multiply the rating you gave by the corresponding weight of the goal and enter the product (score) in the appropriate cell. Add the scores for each project proposal. Then add all sectoral group scores as presented in the summary of GAM scores. (See Sample GAM Form 2 and Table 23 - Example of Summary of Societal Ratings)
SECTOR – GENERAL WELFARE GOALS ASSIGNED PROJECTS
1. Preservation & enrichment of culture
development of appropriate & self-reliant scientific & technological capabilities
9. Preserve the comfort & convenience
Finally, arrange projects according to their total scores. The project with the highest total score is ranked as number one, the next number two, and so on. Two columns for estimated costs are displayed. One column shows the individual cost of each project and the other reflects the cumulative or running total.

Step 8: Estimate project cost. The cost of each project must first be estimated
before the list of proposed projects can be matched with the estimated available funds (Stream 2). For some projects, cost estimates may already be available as may be shown in their project briefs. In this case, the LPDO only needs to validate or refine the estimates. A ranked list of proposed projects with cost estimates and other information may be shown using Form 4.
FORM 4 (Stream 1) – RANKED LIST OF PROPOSED PROJECTS FOR INVESTMENT PROGRAMMING
The LDC, in close coordination with the LPDC, should undertake the required financial plan development for
consideration and approval of the Sanggunian.
1. List all sector scores for each project. 2. Sum the scores for each project and list the total score in the column provided. 3. List the rank of each project based on the total scores in the last column.
Interpretation: The resulting ranking represents the collective evaluation of the project proposals by

Stream 2: Determining Investible Funds a. Who is in charge of determining investible funds?

The Local Finance Committee, composed of the LPDC, the Budget officer and the Treasurer, is charged with the setting of the level of the annual expenditures and the ceilings of spending for economic, social and general services based on the approved local development plans. (Sec. 316 (c), RA 7160).
